I definitely noticed this with exchange students from the US a little more than a decade ago in uni. In Germany it's pretty common for 18 year old's to share an apartment in the city with one or two mates, you wash, you cook together, the drinking age is 16 etc.
When we interacted with US students, a lot of them even a bit older got wasted like teens and threw up everywhere, couldn't operate a washing machine, couldn't cook a normal homemade meal and so on. I think the US college experience has a lot to do with this. Over here you live on your own and it's like a job, nobody cares if you show up, apparently in the US it's like an adult daycare almost. No wonder people in their mid 20s can't do chores.
